I understand where you’re coming from, and you’re fully entitled to believe what you want. However, I implore you to take the time to consider the circumstances. Berry was truly in love with Bloo, and despite all that she had done for him, he didn’t even remember her name. When she first discovered that Bloo cared more about Mac, she perceived Mac as a threat, which caused her to go down the path that she is currently on. I’m not trying to justify what Berry did, as attempted murder is a horrible thing, but I believe Berry truly loved Bloo, and in her warped and twisted mind, she did what she felt she had to do. She wouldn’t have built a shrine for Bloo if she didn’t still love him, and even though revenge against Mac had a lot to do with her plan in this recent episode, it cannot be denied that she still longed for Bloo’s affection. Berry may be a sadistic individual, but in the end, she just wanted Bloo to love her; she was over-zealous, in that she wanted Bloo “all to herself”, but she still loved him. It was an obsessive love, but it’s love none-the-less.

You can sympathize with people and still completely disagree with them. I just ask for people to consider the circumstances and walk a mile in her shoes. She was created; she wasn’t born, and she didn’t have the luxury of defining her own existence. She likely had her mental problems since she was created and even though what she did was horrible, deceitful and wrong, she was doing what she felt that she had to do. After all, one cannot be responsible for the way that they were created.
